The Featured artist for this month’s ArtStroll is Rodney
Skenandore, Elk Chief who was born in Montana. After serving in the
Army in Europe, and later in Southeast Asia, he earned a BA in
Engineering Design and Drafting from a design school in Denver. He then
worked for NASA. He slowly developed his interest in art and has
created many works in various media, including design, jewelry, wood
carving, stone sculptures, furniture, music writing. Since the late
1990’s he has concentrated more on the art and his task as a healer for
Mother Earth, nature and humans, and as a spiritual teacher. Rodney
considers "all of life as an art, a way of being dedicated to the
positive spirits of life and healing”. Rodney returned to the United
States in 2015 after living in the Harz Mountains in Germany. He and
wife, Gudrun, recently moved to Thermopolis and they look forward to
being a part of the art community here. Rodney and Gudrun will be
showing at Broadway Bygones.
